Conservation Through Cultivation
It is my opinion that the long-term salvation to wild American Ginseng’s preservation is Conservation through Cultivation. If we get enough people growing wild-simulated ginseng then the pressure on the remaining truly wild ginseng populations will be greatly diminished and it’s a win-win situation.
